HMS Resource was a fleet repair ship of the Royal Navy. She was built by Vickers-Armstrongs and launched in 1928. The ship served in two theatres during the Second World War.
Resource was fitted with four three-drum Admiralty boilers, giving her a top speed of 15 knots (28 km/h). She was armed with four 4" guns. Her complement varied throughout her career, from a peacetime complement of 581, rising in wartime. She displaced 12,300 tons.
She served in the Mediterranean from 1939 until 1944, except in early 1940 when she spent a small amount of time at Freetown. She served in the Eastern Fleet from 1944, and was scrapped at Inverkeithing in February 1954.
